Spoilers ahead
In the heart of adolescence, 15-year-old Dinky Bossetti navigates a world that often feels indifferent to her existence. Adopted as an infant, she has blossomed into an unconventional teenager, marked by an untidy appearance and a rebellious attitude stemming from her sharp intellect, a lack of parental guidance, and incessant bullying at school. The relentless negativity forces Dinky to retreat to her personal refuge, the “Ark,” a quaint cabin-boat on the peaceful shores of a lake. In this tranquil sanctuary, she has created a remarkable sanctuary for abandoned creatures, who serve as her confidants and stand-in family.
